YIF1B — Yip1 interacting factor homolog B, membrane trafficking protein
YIF1B belongs to a gene co-expression module in 3 of 28 SCUBA cell types. Each module groups genes that rise and fall together in that cell type; the genes it shares a module with are its closest co-expression partners there.

Function
Functions in endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi vesicle-mediated transport and regulates the proper organization of the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi (By similarity). Plays a key role in targeting to neuronal dendrites receptors such as HTR1A (By similarity). Plays also a role in primary cilium and sperm flagellum assembly probably through protein transport to these compartments.
